Pinatubo erupt for the first time?（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：5,500 years ago）解析：解析 31-40 Good morning, everyone. In these environmental science lectures I guess youre
39、 all used to hearing about global warmingwell, Im here today to talk to you about one particular volcano and its effect of global cooling. Ill begin by going back a little bit in time.Towards the middle of 1991, the second largest volcanic eruption of last century occurred in the Philippines, not fa
40、r from the capital city, Manila, on the island of Luzon.Mount Pinatubo belongs to a chain of volcanoes in the area and this was by no means its first eruption. There is evidence of eruptions from approximately 500, 3,000 and 5,500 years ago.The events of the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption began in Jul
41、y 1990, when a magnitude 7.8 earthquake occurred 100 kilometers northeast of the Pinatubo region. The sleeping giant was re-awakened but few people had any idea of what was in store for them. In mid-March 1991, many earthquakes were experienced around Mount Pinatubo and this is when volcano scientis
42、ts (or vulcanologists as they are called) started their investigation of the mountain. Before the disaster, thousands of people lived in very close proximity to the mountain and, on April 2nd, small explosions from vents near the crater dusted their villages with ash. This resulted in the order for
43、evacuations of 5,000 people later that month.Earthquakes and explosions continued to harass the residents and, on June 5th, a Level 3 alert was issued for two weeks because of the possibility of a major eruption. However, the appearance of a large amount of lava protruding from the mountain on June
44、7th led to the announcement of a Level 5 alert on June 9th, indicating an eruption in progress. An evacuation area within 20 kilometers of the volcano was established and this time 25,000 people were evacuated.On the following day, Clark Air Base was evacuated and the danger radius was extended to 3
45、0 kilometers from the volcano resulting in the total evacuation of 58,000 people.On June 15th, just after midday, the eruption of Mount Pinatubo commenced and lasted for nine hours causing numerous major earthquakes due to the collapse of the land at the top of the mountain and the creation of a hug
46、e caldera. Whats a caldera? I hear you say. Well, its obvious reallywith a huge eruption such as this where enormous amounts of material have exploded into the air, the summit falls into what is now an empty chamber and thus forms a large crater.As luck would have it, as the eruption was taking plac
47、e, a tropical storm was passing just to the northeast of Mount Pinatubo, bringing a lot of rainfall to the area. The dust and cinders that had been thrown up into the atmosphere combined with the water vapor from the storm to cause a rainfall of tempura that fell across the whole island of Luzon. Mo
48、st of the people who perished during the eruption did so because of the weight of the ash collapsing roofs and killing the occupants of the houses. If it hadnt been for that passing storm, the death toll would certainly have been much lower.But thats not all, besides the ash, Mount Pinatubo expelled between 15 and 30 million tons of sculpture dioxide gas. Can you guess what happened next? Yes, the sculpture dioxide mixed with water and oxygen in the atmos
